I am trying to format a text box with two different fields from a query. I
want to show the "Subject" and then the "Description". My problem is that I
want the description to start on the next line, but I don't know how to
insert a line break in the expression builder. This is what I have so far in
the control source property of my text box.

=[Subject] & [Description]

Thanks for your help!
 
Add a carriage return and line feed:
=[Subject] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Description]

True enough, but not everybody knows about such things as Google groups. I
learned about searching groups through this group. May I suggest that while
your point is valid, pointing somebody toward a way of searching would be
most helpful?

Good point. Google works best for searches, but the users can also search
right there in the same screen where they went to post the message.

I will, as you suggest, include verbiage on how to search in google in the
future, though.

Have a good one!
